Shopify Partners With Thirdweb, the Web3 Developer Platform, to Launch Commercekit

thirdweb, the groundbreaking technology platform for building NFT and Web3 apps, is partnering with Shopify to launch Commercekit, an all-in-one framework for Web3 and Shopify developers to build Web3 commerce apps.

The US Census Bureau News claims that 13% of total retail sales is captured through e-commerce sales. Web3 is set to accelerate this ecommerce revolution by providing merchants with new ways to engage their audience, run marketing campaigns, and reward customers for their loyalty.

Commercekit will provide developers with tools to easily build Web3 commerce experiences.

Commercekit lets you build apps that enable powerful new ways for merchants to engage with their buyers, including: distributing NFTs to create customer segments for future campaigns, rewarding loyal customers with NFTs, selling NFTs as a distinct new product category and more.

The current tools available for building Web3 ecommerce experiences are limited and outdated. By combining thirdweb’s simplified smart contract deployment and Shopify’s ecommerce tools to transform the workflow for developers, Commercekit is designed to accelerate the integration of Web3 products into Shopify storefronts.

Jake Loo, CTO and Co-founder at thirdweb says: “We’ve spent the last 18 months working closely with Web3 developers and brands interested in building blockchain apps. It became clear that integrating Web3 with commerce had huge demand and we believe Shopify is the best possible partner we could work with to build these tools.”

We’re excited to be combining our best-in-class Web3 development tools with Shopify’s commerce tools, and we truly believe this will kickstart the Web3 commerce revolution.”

Alex Danco, Director of Product at Shopify says: “As a merchant, understanding your customers and finding new buyer segments is mission-critical for running a successful business.”

“We’re excited to partner with thirdweb, the fastest shipping team in Web3, to help make smart contracts and Web3 wallet addresses an essential part of the commerce and loyalty toolkit.”

In just 12 months, thirdweb has grown to over 50,000 monthly active developers using their tools and nearly 10,000 active developers doing over 500,000 blockchain transactions a month. Over 200k smart contracts have been deployed across 8 different blockchains.
